Brother Lawrence was a monk who lived in France during the seventeenth century. His spiritual
counsel was simple: throughout every day, keep an ongoing conversation with God.

"I make it my business to rest in His holy presence," he said, "which I keep myself in by a a habitual,
silent, and secret conversation with God. This often causes in me joys and raptures inwardly, and
sometimes also outwardly, so great that I am forced to use means to moderate them, and prevent
their appearance to others."

Brother Lawrence's thoughts have been collected in a text titled The Practice of the Presence of
God (review or buy), which is comprised of a series of "Conversations" and "Letters." His simple words and example
have been an inspiration to spiritual seekers for the past several hundred years.
